the LobdeggDoes anyone out there know of a gaming podcast like <a href="https://dosgame.club/@dosgameclub" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@dosgameclub</a> but for <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/win9x" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#win9x</a> and even late <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/win16" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#win16</a> games? Like every month take a look at forgotten games from the pre-always-online era/ pre-Steam era of Windows gaming?Talking about stuff like Heretic II and Dark Colony or whatever?

sofia ☮️🏴i've been building a little Windows 3 VM with <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/DOSBox" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DOSBox</a>-X recently. originally to play with <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/LotusImprov" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#LotusImprov</a> but i ended up installing all ✨productivity✨ software i could think of. this website proved pretty useful: <a href="https://winworldpc.com/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://winworldpc.com/</a> it's got tons of old software, including some things missing from archive.org.got any recommendations of what i can try? perhaps some open-source programs still have <a href="https://chaos.social/tags/win16" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#win16</a> builds?

Bits&Terminal JeffIt feels so weird to be able to run Windows 3.1 on top of FreeDOS on actual modern hardware - it's not perfect - can't do more than 640x480 at the moment, but it should be able to do more with some tweaking. Used that GUI daily about three decades ago - didn't love it, but it was good enough and ran fine on my 286.<a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/FreeDOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#FreeDOS</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Windows3" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Windows3</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/Win16" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Win16</a> <a href="https://oldbytes.space/tags/retroComputing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#retroComputing</a>

Dave Heinemann 🇦🇺Finally, somebody developed a good AI tool!<a href="https://www.dialup.net/wingpt/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no">https://www.dialup.net/wingpt/</a>This site is a gold mine of cool Win16 stuff. I need to give Win16 programming another crack one of these days.<a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/RetroProgramming" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#RetroProgramming</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Win311" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Win311</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/Win16" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#Win16</a> <a href="https://fosstodon.org/tags/ChatGPT" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#ChatGPT</a>

moralrecordingsSo I went ahead and turned a bunch of old compilers for <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/DOS" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#DOS</a> and <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/Win16" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Win16</a> into <a href="https://digipres.club/tags/Ghidra" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Ghidra</a> FunctionID databases. Like DOS? Sick of having to identify strncpy 500 times? This is for you!<a href="https://github.com/moralrecordings/ghidra-fidb-dos-win16" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">https://github.com/moralrecordings/ghidra-fidb-dos-win16</a>We're starting with a handful of popular compilers from Borland and Microsoft; if you have any old compilers or popular SDKs for DOS/Win16, sling them my way and I'll try and add them in.

Rairiiso I'm reversing after dark for windows.basically, I adore the "Itchy and Scratchy" screensaver from After Dark: The Simpsons, but it's 16-bit only.It's a ~300kb NE, borland c++.It calls into a lot of exports from ADXPL310.DLL which exports only by ordinal. (also borland c++)After Dark 4.0 contains ADXPL510.DLL which also exports by name. Quite a few exports happen to be direct ports. For example adxpl510!360 aka @PushFarCatch$qpql$v aka void PushFarCatch(void (__cdecl *fptr)(int)) is the 32-bit equivalent of adxpl310!516.<a href="https://haqueers.com/tags/ReverseEngineering" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#ReverseEngineering</a> <a href="https://haqueers.com/tags/Win16" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Win16</a> <a href="https://haqueers.com/tags/Win32" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Win32</a>cc <a href="https://digipres.club/@foone" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">@foone</a> - I know you've been interested in reversing after dark stuff before.
